wedding websites, but make them better!

Think beautifully designed, unique wedding websites that defy all of the clichés you’ve come to expect, then imagine having your template customised and set up for you making the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. That’s what Love, Carli is all about.

the studio

Love, Carli is a website design studio operating on beautiful Boon Wurrung land along the Mornington Peninsula on a mission to redefine wedding websites for a new generation of couples who want impressive digital wedding stationery without the DIY stress.

Established in 2013, Love, Carli began with an obsession for paper and print and remained strictly loyal to the art and tradition of tangible wedding stationery for 10 years, actively rejecting the paperless! However, post-pandemic realities, a changed industry, and a newfound obsession with web development saw me reinvent the business in 2023 to offer wedding websites.

Now embracing, and loving my digital era, Love, Carli is all about breaking tradition and leading the way to doing things differently. Inspired by an editorial aesthetic, a love of colour, and an obsession with typography, my wedding website templates are unexpected, stylish, and unlike anything you have ever seen before.

your wedding website designer

Hello, I’m Carli (she/her/hers). I am a graphic designer, Squarespace web developer, and obsessor of details. I have more ideas than time, judge the fonts on restaurant menus, like to stay up way later than I should, and use too many exclamation marks in emails!

I have over 10 years of experience in the wedding industry and have worked with over 500 couples from all over the world. I am absolutely pumped to bring a new generation of couples my brand-new wedding website offering.

THE LOVE, CARLI DIFFERENCE. WHAT SETS MY WEDDING WEBSITES APART?

  • MY AMAZINGLY AESTHETIC DESIGNS

    Wedding websites have a bit of a reputation for being ugly and poorly designed, and they’re often generic and uninspiring. I’m flipping that narrative. My templates are designer-crafted and expertly built with custom CSS and JavaScript to create stylish and unexpected features. They are intentionally designed to not look like templates and they are not typically feminine and wedding-y. I think you will agree, you’ve not seen anything like them!

  • EVERYTHING IS DONE FOR YOU

    I know you’re busy and have more important things to do than trying to learn how to use a DIY website builder or a whole new platform or fumble around with code. I don’t just sell you a template and leave you to figure it out on your own, I do it all for you! Customisation, setup, and all the back-end tech stuff is included. So tick it off your to do list and head out on that date night because I have you covered. You can learn more about how it all works here.

  • WHEN I SAY HIGHLY-CUSTOMISABLE, I MEAN IT

    You don’t want to look like everyone else, so it can be really frustrating when customisation is limited or too difficult. Flexible by design, my templates are highly customisable and can be easily tailored to match the overall aesthetic of your big day. I can change the colour palette to suit your palette, swap out fonts to better suit your personalities, update the content with your wedding details, showcase your loved-up photos, and remove any sections you don’t wish to include.

  • RELIABLE SUPPORT FROM AN EXPERT

    A stress-free customer experience is always my top priority. Throughout the whole process, you’ll receive the same level of individual attention my custom couples do and it doesn’t stop when your site launches. I’m here for 3 months post-launch to sort out any little technical issues or minor updates that you don’t want to handle yourself. Oh, and did I mention I do it all for you?!

  • CAREFULLY CURATED CHOICES

    I’m not going to boast thousands of designs for you to scroll through, that’s just time-consuming and overwhelming. Less is more, so my template collection is carefully curated with well-thought-out designs in a range of trendy styles making it easy to fall in love with one. To make things even simpler, I don’t incorporate extra wedding planning features you don’t need or make your guests download yet another app.

  • NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS, NO HIDDEN COSTS

    I don’t do gimmicks, there are no pricing tiers and I won’t charge you add-on costs to upgrade to basic features. My template prices are a one-time cost and are all-inclusive of customisation, hosting, and personalised domain names. I’ll also never distract your beautiful wedding website or your valued guests with pop-up ads to sell you things you don’t need, subscribe you or your guests to promotional emails you never asked for, or share your details with any third parties.

WHAT I AM ALL ABOUT

  • HAVING FUN

    Wedding planning can be overwhelming, complex, and all-consuming, it’s easy for the spreadsheets and to-do lists to become joyless. The same can be said for running a small business. Throughout it all, fun keeps us sane. I bring out the joy by inspiring you with new ideas, caring about the details so you don’t have to, and offering expert guidance that makes decision-making a breeze.

  • INCLUSIVITY

    The wedding industry is notoriously gendered and exclusionary, it would have you believe only thin, able-bodied, cishet, white people get married. Don’t get me started on vendors still marketing to brides only. Representation matters and love is for everyone, all people, all races, all genders, all sexualities, and all body types. I advocate for and aim to create a culture within the industry that embraces and serves all people.

  • AUTHENTICITY

    There is so much social pressure when it comes to planning a wedding and it is accelerated by aspirational Pinterest images and curated Instagram feeds. It’s easy to get lost in a sea of toxic perfectionism, but before you know it, you’re over budget, changing your mind every 5 seconds, and stressed out. I celebrate and encourage couples who plan authenticity and are driven by their values rather than appearances or the expectations of others.

  • DARING TO BE DIFFERENT

    Most traditions associated with marriage have pretty grim origins, so you might find yourself questioning why you’re expected to do or have things a certain way. The good news is you don’t! There is very little, legally that a wedding has to include, the rest is entirely up to you! Let’s break the rules! Skip the outdated traditions you don’t identify with and redefine the norm to curate a celebration that truly reflects you.
